I pull the covers over my head
I pray there's some way
That life could skip a day to Monday
I try to count my blessings
It's a long, long list
For a girl who has so much
There's so much that I miss on days like this
I wish I could go to town
Buy you a card
That says 'I love you' inside a heart
And one that makes you laugh
Pick you flowers from our yard
You can set 'em in the window in a Mason jar
Dad will take our photograph
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish it could be that way
Every mother's day
Maybe someday I will let go
But right now I'm still hanging on
Maybe one day God will bless me
With a daughter of my own
I'll have love I've never known
She could go to town
Buy me a card
Says 'I love you' inside a heart
One that makes me laugh
She'll pick me flowers from our yard
I'll set 'em in the window in a Mason jar
And dad will take our photograph
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish it could be that way
Every mother's day
One two three
Smile, say cheese
Oh I wish we could be that
Every mother's day...
